Comment on REST Client Library for Silverlight by Paul Wheeler

Paul Wheeler — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:13:22 +0000

FYI, I’ve created a new library that makes connecting to RESTful POX or JSON based services from a Silverlight client much more like it is from full .Net/WCF (ala WebGet, WebInvoke, UrlTemplates). Check out my website, http://slrest.codeplex.com/ for details.

Steve,

Thanks a lot for the bug report! This one sounds familiar, I think it’s in the SL data grid, isn’t it? There’s probably not too much I can do about it if it turns out to be the control, but I will definitely look into it.

Cheers,
Philipp

Hi Philipp,

This is great stuff and your hard work is appreciated. Just a small bug to report. It appears that the data grid rearranges the rows in it when you scroll (kind of odd). To reproduce, create a data grid with say 20 rows (number them 1 to 20 so you can see the order easily), and then have it sized to show only the first 10 or so. Run time vertical scrolling up and down will start doing some rearranging the order of the rows. For example if you scroll down a couple and back up a couple, the rows re-rendered at the top are different than they were originally. Let me know if you can’t repro. Thanks

Hi Geoff,

The DataForm is now obsolete and will be removed in the final build. It basically did what SketchableTable does now.

Regarding the font size: I will adjust it for some controls (e.g. in order to fit in the data grid), but they are controlled through SketchFlow’s own SketchStyles dictionary (I don’t provide my own in order to support the official one). If you want to globally change fonts, you should go through these styles.

Hi Philipp,
I’m using your interim release for interaction design on our project and it’s going really well. Sketchables is really making a big difference in productivity especially the DataGrid.
I’m not a dev so have just used the binaries, but can you tell me what the “SketchableDataForm” is used for. All of the other Sketchable assets have nice example content, but the SketchableDataForm has none
Also is there a way to change the font size of the content of a “sketchable”?
I’ll look forward to the release version

Philipp,

Very cool, I have been thinking about something like this for use with WP7.. very cool (provided that we get Web Service access in WP7 that is.. not sure if it’s in there or not)

Geoff,

Thanks for your kind words - I’m looking forward to improving the framework

Bizspark is a nice idea - I need to look into that. Regarding testing: I’ll keep you up-to-date with future previews in case I don’t post them to the Blend or Disciples board anyway. Happy coding!

@Philipp Sumi
I’ve been watching this for a while with great anticipation Phillip. Just downloaded and installed it.
It’s brilliant!!!!
I’ve been on the TAP program for Blend / Sketchflow and it’s one of the best selling features for Blend that I’ve seen
You are amazing. I agree with the comments on the WPF disciples group - you deserve an MVP. You should get yourself on the BizSpark program to get your MSDN goodies
I’m doing interaction design for my project and will start using it immediately. I can be ones of your testers

Nice! Downloading it now. Great concept, and thanks for your hard work. And I’ve always said, if someone does you a favor, you don’t complain about how they do it.

Sorry for the delay and being silent - it has been a few horribly busy weeks. Sketchables is progressing well and will be officially released this week. For the impatient, the preview release can be found here:

http://www.hardcodet.net/uploads/projects/sketchables/sketchables.zip
Minor issue: If you create a new project, compile immediately after having set the references to the Sketchables’ DLL. Otherwise, you’ll get font issues. If you didn’t and don’t have the Sketch font rendered, just restart Blend and you’re good.

Cheers
Philipp

So it’s July now, and Blend 4 is live… can I add my humble voice to the chorus asking for Sketchables?

Just went through a largish design project with Balsamiq and while I like it, it leaves much to be desired for interactivity. Axure RP is much easier to make “clicky wireframes” although somewhat slower to draw in than Balsamiq. Digging into Sketchflow and really, really looking forward to Sketchables. Any ETA on it yet?

Comment on Organizing Heterogeneous Data on a WPF TreeView by SmallDog

EDIT
Sorry the post above took out my brackets. it was supposed to say:

Would you change this to: ‘private IEnumerable(FolderItem) items

*replace () with angle brackets

SmallDog — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 03:23:29 +0000

Hi Philipp, great little example you have here.

Like meho’s comment earlier, I also want to implement items under the “animal” items. In your “FolderItem” class you have:
private IEnumerable items;

Would you change this to: ‘private IEnumerable items’ to do this? I’m abit stuck on how to implement 4 layers, so any suggestions/help would be appreciated.
thx

Wow! I’m really looking for this release, been using Balsamiq for a long time and hesitated to use Sketchflow until I saw this Great job!

I too have been using Balsamiq, but it’s missing a few key capabilities that make it somewhat cumbersome to use, such as being able to truly componentize elements of a wireframe. Expression 4 is a great design tool in this and other regards and I can hard wait for a download of Sketchables to be available. +1 for the tree view from me as well.

Comment on WPF NotifyIcon by Philipp Sumi

Philipp Sumi — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 20:17:18 +0000

@Priji John
Probably the simplest solution is to just register an event listener for the event that fires if the popup is being opened (TrayPopupOpen) and trigger the sound from code. As an alternative, you could also use the attached event that is fired for your popup control and trigger the sound via a behavior.

Update: It didn’t work only on one specific Windows XP machine. Tried another one today and found it working perfectly. Forget about it, seems to be a problem with one of my machines.

I only have an issue with the standard balloon tips: They don’t show up on Windows XP SP3. Aren’t they supported on XP?

Philipp Sumi — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 15:06:30 +0000

Nicely spotted, Shane! I’ll have to look into that, this might actually be an indicator for a bug.

Thanks for telling (and your kind words, of course)

Comment on WPF NotifyIcon by ShaneB

ShaneB — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 14:43:11 +0000

Great job with this! One extremely minor note: In NotifyIconData.cs setting the fixed timeout to 10 has no effect since you’re immediately set it again a few lines down

Comment on SLF Hands-on Tutorial, Part 1 by Tevya

Tevya — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 19:08:47 +0000

How does one configure SLF via a separate config file? E.g. If one has a web site web.config and one would like the log4net stuff to be kept in log4net.config instead.
